My Must-Have Windows Applications我必須擁有Windows應用

As I posted正如我張貼 yesterday昨天 setting up a Windows system (of any kind) is a far different experience than setting up a Linux box, in that there is far more work to do after the OS install.建立一個Windows系統（任何種類）是一個完全不同的經驗不是建立在Linux中，在有更多的工作要做，在安裝該操作系統。 Simply put, Windows is an Operating System only (with a few utilities and a smattering of basic applications), where as modern Linux distributions are just that – a core OS distributed with a core set of applications as well.簡而言之， Windows是一個作業系統只（少數公用事業和零星的基本應用） ，在現代的Linux發行版都只是-一個核心操作系統分發了一套核心的應用，以及。

Now, Taking that into consideration, there is a little more leg-work involved in getting my Windows Vista workstation “work-ready” than say a vanilla Ubuntu install.現在，考慮這一考慮，有一個多腿涉及的工作得到我的Windows Vista工作站“工作準備”比說，香草Ubuntu的安裝。 Here’sa list of the Applications I consider must-have’s for my workstation.下面清單中的應用，我認為必須具備的為我的工作站。 There are a variety of applications here.有各種各樣的應用，這裡。 There are applications which are closed-source and cost money, closed-source and are free (as in beer), and free open-source projects.有應用是封閉源代碼和成本錢，封閉源代碼和自由（如啤酒） ，以及自由開放源碼的項目。 Often, as you will see, I install both the closed-source package as well as the open-source equivalent.通常，你會看到，我安裝了封閉源代碼包以及開源當量。 I do this for two reasons – ultimate compatibility (MS Office can’t open OOo docs for example – which I find quite amusing), and often there are things in the open-source packages I like better for some tasks.我這樣做是出於兩個原因-最終兼容性（的M SO ffice無法打開返回主頁文檔的例子-我覺得很有趣），而且往往是有東西在開源軟件包我喜歡更好的一些任務。

So here is my list (with links and recommendations of similar programs to try):因此，這裡是我的名單（與聯繫，並建議類似的計劃，試圖） ：
